Personally, I'm less concerned at training because I knew the dogs pretty well and had decoyed for all of them. But your club is much larger with a more varied clientel so you have different things to worry about than I do!

I'm sure you've seen the video of OJ at the trial in Utah? When one of the dogs on the field mistook him for a decoy and he fended it off with his clipboard? I'll let the dog bite me to keep it away from my camera!

Link please!!!!

What dog was that?

Chipper did that at a seminar one time...In fact, I think it was either OJ or Jerry he went after....

Demo said it was Jinx. That's what he gets for wearing a puffy down jacket on the trial field!

Inside me is a thin woman trying to get out. I usually shut the bitch up with a martini.

by "trainer" i meant "decoy"---oops! i could find out what lexi's line is, knox was bred by a training friend of ours that owns the schutzhund club i train at. He bred them off his bitch Diva, who is a little firecracker with a SchIII that has competed at nationals. They don't run a kennel, per say, they only breed when they own a spectacular dog and have found another equally spectacular or better dog, and they haven't done a breeding in a couple years and I don't think intend to for a couple years, we'll see. i'll try to find out about diva. knox basically looks just like her, all that extra black, very handsome.

i took a bite from knox once, he was a little confused like, "hey, i thought we were bff?!" and then he did not hesitate! i like to think he took it easy on me, but it was a really cool experience. neither of us held a grudge!

I don't know Jinx...but Greg was at a seminar in Michigan with Chipper, and Joe wanted Greg to demonstrate the PDC. So, Greg said he'd do it as long as there was no off-leash stuff. Joe was like, "No, we promise." So, Greg sets up, the first thing Joe says: "Leave your dog." Greg nearly had a heart attack, but Joe said Chipper would be fine. Greg dropped the leash, walked forward, called Chipper, Chipper took off and latched onto Jerry....

In fact...in the OB for the 1's, the guy in the chair used to be just a guy in the chair. It's now a decoy in a suit because of Chipper!!! LOL
